A wonderful piece of Las Vegas history for a Nevada gaming collector, a mid-century travel memorabilia enthusiast, or anyone drawn to the brief, vivid lives of the Strip's forgotten properties.

This is a vintage souvenir glass piece from the Rendezvous Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada. The Rendezvous Hotel and Casino had one of the shortest runs in Las Vegas history: it opened in 1976 and closed just nine months later, reopening in 1978 as The Big Nickel before that too disappeared. What that brief existence means for the collector is simple — very little promotional material survived, and pieces in any condition are genuinely difficult to find. This one is smoky gray with a decorative pleated border all the way around, a form that is distinctly of its moment.
